Of the 14 bills or issues I’m working on that have passed the House of Delegates, none is dead.

My bond bills have been funded.

Budget bill language about involving absent fathers with their child and the mother has been agreed to.

The House and Senate bills creating the Grasmick teacher scholarship have each passed one house.

Two of my bills have gotten favorable committee action in the Senate. Approval by the full body should be routine.

No distress signals that I’m aware of for any of my other bills that are in the upper house.

Ten days ago, I had five bills waiting for House action so that they could cross over to the Senate.

None made it. They’ll be wandering in the desert for the next nine months.

Until next year.
